Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted August 8, 2012 Paid Members Posted August 8, 2012 Diary of the Dead is hands down the worst feature film I've ever seen in a cinema. It's just dire on every level. Yes, it's shite. It single-handedly put me off seeing Survival Of The Dead. George Romero should fuck off now.
King Pitcos Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 (edited) I actually watched Survival of the Dead as well, if that's the one with the two cowboy families fighting. That was really bad too, like a SyFy Channel film. I'm sour on Romero's earlier zombie films now because of his later ones. I wonder if those terrible-looking, straight-to-DVD, pseudo-remakes/sequels that pop up every few years are worse than the films he makes now. Edited August 8, 2012 by King Pitcos
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted August 8, 2012 Paid Members Posted August 8, 2012 He's had an incredibly mixed career. The Crazies was fucking terrible as well. The Dark Half and Bruiser weren't much better. Yet he's done some amazing stuff, too. I'd go as far to say The Crazies is one of the worst films I've ever seen. Total shit.

His last good film was probably Monkey Shines and that has to be 25 years old.
Allstar69 Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 is diary of the dead the one where its a film crew recording whats happening
The King Of Swing Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 Only memorable scene in Diary of the Dead was the Amish guy stabbing himself in the head.
Loki Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 I quite liked Survival, it has its moments. Land of The Dead with Hopper was alright too. They're nothing to the quality of his earlier films, but as far as zombie action goes, they're better than Walking Dead.
Polish Dad Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 Just re-rewatched La Haine. One of my favourite films. Matthieu Kassovitz is one of my all-time favourite directors, and I can even forgive him for Babylon, A.D. since he was slating it in the press before release. The dialogue is some of the best around, the characters are wonderfully believable and the mash-up of Non je ne regrette riens/Fuck The Police was fucking genius.
Kawaii Guy Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 Watched The Fighter the other day, Christian Bale is brilliant in it, as is Mark Wahlberg who at the moment can do no wrong in my eyes. I havnt had the chance to watch Ted yet, but I love pretty much anything Marky mark is in (even the Happening, has me in stitches every time) Im awaiting delivery on a few titles from Arrow Video. The Beyond (I love this movie and have no clue why i hadnt bought it until now), along with 2 of the Troma releases, Combat Shock and Class of Nuke em high (which features one of my best friends onstage with Lloyd Kaufman at the Prince Charles Cinema from may this year)
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted August 9, 2012 Paid Members Posted August 9, 2012 Just watched Shame. I could probably live very happily without seeing Michael Fassbender's sex face or cock again. Good film, though, but Carey Mulligan is far better than he is in it.
Paid Members CuckedByMenry Posted August 9, 2012 Paid Members Posted August 9, 2012 The Human Centipede II: Much like the first film, watching it once is enough. I'll probably be saying the same for the next sequel.
Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted August 9, 2012 Paid Members Posted August 9, 2012 Somewhat inspired by the tremendous video artwork thread knocking about, I impulsively tossed a copy of Hell Ride into my shopping trolley whilst doing the weekly Tesco trip tonight, purely off the back of how cool the DVD cover is. I figured that for

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted August 9, 2012 Paid Members Posted August 9, 2012 Guns, explosions, but no women in bikinis. Is that a review of the film, or just an assessment of the artwork?
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted August 10, 2012 Paid Members Posted August 10, 2012 The artwork. The recipe is missing a key ingredient, which doesn't bode well for the movie.
